Jasmine
by Thomas Moore
From plants that wake when others sleep,
From timid jasmine buds that keep
Their odor to themselves all day,
But when the sunlight dies away
Let the delicious secret out
To every breeze that roams about.

Thomas Moore was an English poet and the Chelsea Physic Garden Curator

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
